Before the ATC was cool.

The Super 8 Belay/Rappel Device is Black Diamond's original device for Search and Rescue professionals, and it makes an excellent addition to any hipster-esque climber's rack. Its lightweight, compact shape is an ideal choice for minimalist climbers, as well as a tuck-away lifesaver if you drop your primary device at the top of a route, right before the rappel.

Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I bought this device to be my canyoneering do it all device! Static blocks, and rappelling mainly. Its lightweight and from a company I know I can always trust with technical gear like this. I am a bit worried about my rope fitting through double stranded for a static block but we'll see, I can use it to rappel if so.

great device for the price.

Familiarity: I've used it several times

I bought this to ease up the wear and tear on my atc's when repelling. This device gets the job done. Super light, solid construction, by a manufacturer that you can trust. The capability says it's good up to 11mm single line. I've had trouble on double lines at 9.8mm, so that's something to think about as well.
